The legislature has been consider
ing 70 fee hill, but it has suddenly
disappeared of late. 1t would he II
wise plan to settle upon some fixed
compensation for county officers, and
not be legislating on the matter every
session. There is no reason why IL
public officer should not he paid u
stated salary for his services as well
as those employed in other vocations.
There may he an exception in the
ease of an assessor, yet il this officer
is well paid for his work there is no
reason why he should not faithfully
perform his duties. The salary allowed
Mr.. Snyder, in Meaeher. owing to the
territory he was Obliged to cover, was
too small by ST 900 at least. The
difficulty seems to lie in fixing a just
compensation, but in this respect the
iee system is often obnoxious to the
people ~ officers frequently get double
I the compensation they would receive
through fixed salary. II would seem
as though salaries could be Grlagcd by
the work to be performed, the ability
required, and the prevailing salaries fol
corresponding duties in other voca-
tions. No man is going to give his
time and services to the county for Il
less compensation than he can receive
in some private pursuit. Men are not
giving their timefor love orpatriotism
They are chosen to ill these offices
because OF their ability and peculiar
fitness, and often leave remunerativ,
situations or callings to do so.
